FRANKFURT — Audi will join an alliance with rivals Daimler and BMW to develop advanced autonomous driving systems, German weekly Wirtschaftswoche said on Thursday. BMW and Daimler said in July they have entered into a long-term development partnership to develop highly automated driving functions to enable “hands off” autonomous driving on highways as well as automated parking. BMW said at the time the non-exclusive cooperation is open to other automakers and technology partners. Audi, a unit of Volkswagen Group will announce it is joining the alliance at the Frankfurt auto show in early September, Wirtschaftswoche said.
